This is my first of hopefully many tab submissions. This is the little solo/riff that Kirk plays
at the end of Harvester of Sorrow (right before going into Sanitarium) on disc 1 of the Mexico City Set
from the Live Sh*t box. It starts about 6:45 into Harvester of Sorrow. Ok, on to the tabs...

Well that's it. Not too hard to play. It helps to listen to the CD a few times to get the
exact timing down. Have fun ^_^
